Top-5: A disgusting gesture by Mark Stone towards Miro Heiskanen

The Canadiens not only lost their game against the Jets: they also saw Kaiden Guhle get injured during the match.
And it doesn’t look good for the defenseman…
That said, there were also seven other games played in the NHL last night. Here’s a summary of what happened:
Tuesday’s slate saw three hat tricks, capped by Wyatt Johnston who became the eighth player in @NHL history to complete a natural hat trick in overtime during the @DallasStars‘ comeback win.#NHLStats: https://t.co/QjsUh0Vny6 pic.twitter.com/mwo6gwuxSt

1 : An unsightly act by Mark Stone
Mark Stone is a good hockey player… But he is also capable of being a jerk on the ice.
Miro Heiskanen learned this the hard way last night: Stone hit him sneakily and it was the defenseman’s knee that took the hit.
Like Guhle, we can fear the worst for Heiskanen:

Ouch…
I hope the NHL will penalize Mark Stone for his actions!
The Stars players took care of avenging their teammate’s injury in the game.
In fact, it was Wyatt Johnston who stole the show by scoring a hat trick.
The Stars won 4-3 in overtime:
It was the Wyatt Johnston show tonight in Vegas!

2 : Connor Bedard scores one of the goals of the year
We know that Connor Bedard has a great shot.
He terrorized goalies in the WHL when he was playing junior and is on his way to doing the same in the NHL.
When you see a shot like that, you realize how much talent he has:

Wow!
The Blackhawks had a big game in Tampa Bay. They managed to beat the Lightning 4-1 with key players contributing to the team’s victory.
Seth Jones notably registered two assists in the game.
For the Lightning, this marks their fourth loss in five games. Things are not going well in Tampa Bay lately…
3 : Thompson and Peterka too strong for the Bruins
Seeing a hat trick in an NHL game happens quite frequently.
But last night in Buffalo, we saw two in the same game!
JJ Peterka and Tage Thompson took care of the Bruins by scoring three goals each:

No need to tell you that the six goals scored by Peterka and Thompson were enough for the Sabres to win the game.
The Buffalo team won the game 7-2: the fans of the team were able to celebrate the victory… But many of them went home without their hats, hehe.
Note that Brad Marchand scored his 18th goal of the season in his team’s loss.
4 : First point for Rantanen with the Hurricanes
Everything worked for the Hurricanes last night at Madison Square Garden.
The big guns from Carolina had fun: Andrei Svechnikov (twice), Sebastian Aho, and Seth Jarvis scored to lead the Hurricanes to defeat the Rangers.
The game ended with a score of 4-0… And Mikko Rantanen scored his first point in Carolina’s uniform:

Svechnikov, Aho, and Jarvis scoring…
Rantanen contributing to the victory…
But in all this, one must not forget Frederik Andersen’s performance.
After all, the goalie was perfect in front of his net, stopping all 22 shots directed at him!
This is his first shutout of the season:
FREDZILLA!

5 : Martin Necas continues to have fun with his new team
Martin Necas recorded two assists in his second game with the Avalanche.
He was shut out in his first game with the Colorado team.
Yesterday, he again contributed to the scoring with two assists against the Islanders.
Necas assisted on a somewhat strange goal by Artturi Lehkonen and he was involved in the goal by his former teammate in Carolina, Jack Drury:

Despite Necas’s brilliance, the Avalanche was never in the game against Patrick Roy’s team.
The Islanders won 5-2, and Alexander Romanov scored his second goal of the season in his team’s victory.
Also note that Tony DeAngelo registered his first point with the Islanders.
The Islanders had a big test, but they managed to secure their fifth consecutive victory!

– A goal for Shane Wright.
